High-Alkali Stable Chelating Agent: MGDA-Na3 | Yuanlian Chemical

In the demanding world of industrial cleaning and textile processing, finding a chelating agent that maintains stability under extreme pH conditions is a constant challenge. Traditional chelators like EDTA often struggle when pushed to the limits of alkalinity.

Enter Trisodium Methylglycine Diacetate (MGDA-Na3)—the high-performance, biodegradable powerhouse designed for extreme environments. At Yuanlian Chemical, we specialize in providing MGDA solutions that empower formulators to create more effective, sustainable, and robust chemical products.

The Power of MGDA: Stability in Strong Alkaline Environments

The defining characteristic of MGDA is its exceptional caustic stability. While many organic sequestering agents decompose or lose efficacy when exposed to high concentrations of Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), MGDA thrives.

1. Unrivaled Performance at High pH

MGDA remains chemically stable and active even in environments with pH levels as high as 13 or 14. This makes it the preferred choice for:

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Heavy-duty degreasers and floor cleaners.

• CIP (Clean-in-Place): Removing stubborn mineral scales in food and beverage processing lines.

• Textile Scouring: Maintaining efficiency during high-alkali bleaching and dyeing processes.

2. Superior Complexation Power

Even in harsh alkaline conditions, Yuanlian Chemical’s MGDA effectively binds to $C{a}^{2+}$ and $M{g}^{2+}$ ions. This prevents the precipitation of lime soaps and scale, ensuring that surfactants can perform their cleaning tasks without interference from water hardness.

3. Synergistic Efficiency

MGDA-Na3 works synergistically with other alkalis and surfactants. Because it does not degrade, it allows for concentrated formulations that have a longer shelf life and higher "one-wash" success rates, reducing overall chemical consumption.
